A novel technique of quantifying first metatarsophalangeal (1st MPJ) joint stiffness
The first metatarsophalangeal joint (1 MPJ) mobility is usually described by (i) range of motion in degrees (°) or (ii) stiffness based on an experienced tester’s subjective feel, ie. hypermobile, normal or stiff. Approximately 65° of 1 MPJ dorsiflexion is required for normal effective walking [1]. Visual estimation of 1 MPJ range of motion is often used in current practice [2], reflecting the ...
متن کاملA novel method of measuring passive quasi-stiffness in the first metatarsophalangeal joint
BACKGROUND First metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) mobility is commonly assessed by its angular displacement (joint angle) or subjectively rated as 'hypermobile', 'normal' or 'stiff' by a clinician. Neither of these methods is ideal because displacement alone does not take into account the force required to displace the joint and subjective evaluation is not always reliable. This study presented...
متن کاملThe first metatarsophalangeal joint meniscus
An intra-articular ligament of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) has been observed by the authors during dissection for hallux valgus and hallux rigidus corrective surgery over a number of years. The enigmatic incidence and role of this structure prompted further investigation. A literature review was conducted across several scientific databases using the search terms “first metatarso...
متن کاملPercutaneous First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Fusion
The first metatarsophalangeal (MTP1) joint fusion is a very useful procedure in forefoot surgery and is still the gold standard for the treatment of severe and painful hallux rigidus. Normal walking and running are possible after MTP1 fusion, the first ray mobility being essentially in the interphalangeal (IP) joint with a compensatory hypermobility in dorsal flexion. Percutaneous MTP1 fusion i...
متن کاملFirst Metatarsophalangeal Joint Osteoarthritis – A Clinical Review
The first metatarsophalangeal joint of the human foot may best be classified as an anatomically condyloid synovial juncture. This joint is primarily formed by the rounded head of the first metatarsal bone, in sequence with the shallow concavity of the base of the first proximal phalanx. Whilst there is no dorsal ligament supporting or stabilizing the first metatarsophalangeal joint, the structu...
